| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Any one that owns an unipivoted tonearm design has very low knowledge levels on the tonearm/cartridge overall issue and you are not an exception to that.This sort of blanket statement is really problematic. The later Graham Phantom is a very dec... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? @gochuchgo There are a number of single-ended 6SN7-based line stages I've seen that do the job. | |
| A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game @audioquest4life John mentioned to me on the phone yesterday how nice your setup sounded- he was very impressed! If we can arrange it, a comparison would be fun! | |
| what is your opinion ? I honestly not that sure what are you trying to achieve ?I participate on this and other forums simply because I enjoy music and I enjoy helping out where I can. I like to simply state the facts; I apologize if this has put you off. | |
| Tonearm mounting rigidity and considerations? @billwojo You have most of this right.The missing bit is the plinth itself. If the platter is able to vibrate in a plane or differently at any rate from the base of the arm, the result will be a coloration. To this end the mounting of the platter... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @luisma31 Well if the cartridge won't track properly its not going to be all that magical :) You really do want to get that bit right. Now you may have noticed something- with MM cartridges you can't get as much bandwidth. This probably isn't a b... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry What tonearm adjustments do you view as necessary to be considered a good tonearm for yourself?@scar972 The reason I like the Triplanar is that its so adjustable. You can dial in the VTA (the VTA tower pioneered by Triplanar is now seen in a varie... | |
| what is your opinion ? ' in one of my post mentioned D.Berning OTL design you have instantly made a comment he uses this, that , semiconducters etc, etc, as a matter of you start to critise other OTL Design I think you will find that the above statement is incorrect!... | |
| Stacking a HT processor on top of amplifier Or- how about putting the amp on the processor?Amps need cooling. If they overheat, Bad Things can happen. | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active It is interesting to note that as the frequency response approaches flat at 20kHz the phase shift increases further down into the audio band. In this case it becomes the choice of the lesser of two evils. Since no two people hear the same, it ... | |
| what is your opinion ? Mine is better Yours is worst kind of aproach I Personally believe is absurd You'll notice I stay away from that sort of talk. | |
| 8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl vinyl is a different format to the master tape and 8 track is the same plus vinyl has eq applied and 8 track does not so will 8 track have better tone and soundstage than vinyl? i'm using logic here friendsBoth formats have EQ applied. But 8 tra... | |
| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? Are electrostatics considered the next level with a corresponding price bump, or just an alternative technology? The latter.One should be careful when driving ESLs if you wish to get the best out of them. Because they are a fundamentally different... | |
| A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game I will reach out to John and ask what are the efficiency specs. @audioquest4lifeThey are 98dB 1 watt/1 meter and 16 ohms. So you are using about 1/10th the power you used to use. I’ve had John’s speakers for the last 22 years (they’ve been updated... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry what would you consider as a high output cartridge? Anything over 3mV2.5mV? Only because this is about the minimum that a phono section designed for MM cartridges will handle properly.But the answer isn't simple. The lower the output of the cartri... |
